CD Won't Autoplay - USB Drive Won't Show Up Mycomputer
Apr 26, 2007
I just got the problem on this month 1. The DVD-rom (mapped drive D:) doesn't autoplay at all, when u remove the disc from the drive, the icon just stays there, but its empty. The only refresh as you reboot the computer. 2. The USB drive (mapped drive F:)doesn't show up at my computer. It'd detected by Adobe reader, and the USB is readable, but it just won't show up in "My Computer" also the list of choice to open the USB from autorun won't show up either. That's pretty gay.
What i did: 1. tried mapping drives 2. NOD32 result- virus count:0 unscannable count:4 3. Adaware SE personal: spyware count: 2 (cleaned) 4. ctrl+alt+del check the running stuff by Administrator seems nothing special

I had a problem with my windows. When ever I plug in my Flash drive (i got a few: kingston data traveller 1gig, pendrive 128mb,etc) onto my usb port. Window will be able to detect the drive had been plug in. I can see the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon on the right side of my task bar. But i cannot see the drive appearing in "My Computer". If I double click on the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon and try to view the external drive information, I can see that its already detected and being assign with drive E: . Even if I open a windows explorer and type in E: , it will throw me an error "Cannot find 'file:///E:/'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct". But if I were to restart my computer, then i can see it for the first time. If I disconnect it (thru the "Safely Remove Hardware") and plug it back in (or plug another flash drive), I cant see the external drive. Causing I had to restart my computer multiple time a day.

At work we have so many network drives and in a recent upgrade to xp, the drive letters are showing up at the very end of the drive description. In certain applications, you only get to see a short portion of the beginning of the drive info and with the complex naming schemes we have, it is difficult to remember what's what and hard to tell the difference with just the beginning showing. It's very easy to remember what we've designated as K or N or P for example. Any way to switch these letters back to the beginning?

I have this notebook in which windows xp doesn't show the autoplay options any more everytime I put a CD or plug a digital camera or pendrive. Before it used to ask me what to do but now it doesn't do anything. The autoplay is on, and set to 'prompt me what to do' but it just doesn't. There's a service in charge of this (shell hardware detection), and it's running ok, started, automatic, everything is ok. Any suggestions? (besides reinstalling ).I'm not posting the specs for this notebook since I believe it doens't have anything to do with the hardware but if you need them just ask.

I have just installed XP Home SP2. I do not want autoplay. I have checked every box available to disable autoplay. If I insert a CD, it runs. With Win 98 SE, There was a single registry entry that could be changed from 0 (?) to 1 or the opposite.I have searched the various XP websites to no avail.

I am having an annoying problem. I even reformatted my pc to get rid of it and it still does it. Autoplay keeps trying to autoplay when nothing is in there to play. ALL the time and it is very annoying. Can anything be done about this? Next time it happens I will take a shot and link it back here so you can see what I mean. Please tell me you guys can help me. Thanks.
Edited: Ok here is the link of what I mean. The autoplay box comes on all the time even when nothing is in any of the drives. I am not trying to run anything btw. Again thanks!

Complaint was audio CDs won't play. Think problem is actually autoplay doesn't work. It is enabled for the drives/files. Tried Microsoft autoplay repair tool, Tweak, checked services. Music CDs just won't autoplay

the default setting is "music files". Whenever I put a DVD in I have to manually change the setting to "DVD movies". When the DVD is done autoplay automatically returns to "music files". Is there a way to set autoplay for multiple files or to disable it so that my computer will play any media I insert?

Autoplay was disabled by some antivirus program, I want to enable it again but it doesn't work. Both optical and virtual dvd drives have no autoplay. I tried tweakui, set all drives to enable autoplay, but it didn't work.

When you plug in a USB stick with some pictures on it (or you select Content Type: pictures in AutoPlay), you have the option to choose 'Copy pictures to a folder on my computer' when AutoPlay is enabled. Because I also have an external hard-drive, I have disabled AutoPlay.When I connected the external HD, it would always start to rowse/read
the entire content of the HD (annoying pop-up I had to cancel) and then it would open the folder. As a consequence, I no longer have the option to choose 'Copy pictures
to a folder on my computer', which would launch the Scanner and Camera wizard, when I plug in my USB stick with pictures on it. When I try to manually start the Scanner and Camera wizard (wiaacmgr.exe), I'm getting an error message indicating I don't have any scanners or camera's connected.

I put in a new 2nd hard drive to my desktop, and when I start Windows XP, the drive does not show up under "Disk Management". This is the screen that comes up when you right click "My Computer", go to "Manage", and select "Disk Management". When I do this, there's a "Disk 0" for my original drive, and a "DVD-ROM" drive. But shouldn't there be a "Disk 1" for the 2nd drive? Is there some other driver that has to be installed for this? The drive did not come with an installation CD or anything. It's a Seagate 40gb SATA drive.

The settings for autoplay and cd recording can be tweaked by opening explorer or my computer, right click on the cd-rom drive, then click properties. While this usually works, sometimes it doesn't and you'll have to edit the registry.

I have recently been working on a VB6 Program which was meant to change the registry.After i had tested it, my laptop rebooted suddenly and i got an error saying: The following file is missing or corrupt: WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM This is a real pain because i got my laptop off eBay and after a small child hammered the keyboard, the CD Drive Became Bust. I only have a 3.5Inch floppy drive and 10 floppy disks. It is quite old and it doesn't support USB booting When i try using a MS-DOS startup disk, it doesn't show my C: Drive

This is the first time i've done this. I'm using windows xp. I have a flash drive that i use for backing up files. All of a sudden I can't access it. When i plug it back into the USB port that I used it originally, the computer reconizes that it is plugged in (by showing that i have a new drive) but asks me to insert a disk. I've tried it in my other USB2 ports with no luck. I notice that the LCD (?) flashes when I plug it in. I've tried other flash drives in the same ports and they work fine. I'm wondering if I some how changed the format from FAT to NTFS or the other way around.

Just recently my computer started doing the annoying thing where you try to type, but it freezes for a couple of seconds and then all the typing you did finally shows up. It does it when I try to scroll down a page, too; everything freezes for a few seconds before my cursor is responsive again. I have a fairly high-powered computer, and no extraneous programs are running. When I keep Task Manager running, I can see spikey activity in the CPU when these freeze-ups occur. I keep things well-defragged and spyware-free.

I have a mp3 player (sandisk express) that connects to my lap top by usb. I think my kids have uninstalled something recently as the lap top no longer recognises the mp3 player ie. it wont show up in explorer as a drive and no longer turns on and starts charging when it is connected.The problem doesnt seem to be with the mp3 player as it works fine on my desk top. I have tried refreshing it in the device manager but that didnt work.I traced the location of the driver file on my desk top and the same file resides on my lap top in same location. So I have no idea why the mp3 player wont work on the lap top.

I am having an issue with my DVD Burner. It used to work fine, I was able to burn DVDs (Using Roxio). I fixed an issue related to AVI files by installing a program called K-Lite Codec Pack. During the installation, I was asked to approve some erroneous registry entries that existed. Since then, I have had issues with the DVD Burner (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B). The drive doesn't show up in as a valid letter on my list of drives. When I go to the device manager, it has a yellow ! next to it (Code 37)....
What I have tried so far:Un-uinstalled and re-installed the device driver Followed instructions on Microsoft.com to Manual steps to delete the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry values that can cause CD access problems (http://support.microsoft.com/default...en-us%3B314060) At that point, I could see the drive and the exclamation mark in the device manager was gone, however, I could not burn any DVDs... it didn't recognize it as a burner....

I cannot find out why the partition drive letters are not showing up in disk management but are showing in "My Computer". I can view directories and file in explorer but links and commands do not work because they can't find the paths.

I recently purchased a USB external hard drive by Western Digital. The drive shows up in the device manager. but no drive letters show up in My Computer or Windows Explorer. I can click on Start,Run,F:, enter, and a window opens up with the drive letter as the header. Any ideas how I can get the drive letter to appear in My Computer of Windows Explorer?

About two days ago I can't seem to open the majority of webpages, everything just comes up as an error message, event the stuff in "Favorites". I have no clue why. I called the internet company and everything is OK. Some of the pages open and usually the same ones do, so it isn't a connection problem. the rest just say "Internet Explorer Can't Show the Page" or something to that effect.I've used Superantispyware, bitdefender, Nod32 and Spybot. Sounds like a configuration thing? Forgot to mention that after turning off windows firewall, some pages (like this one) came back, but most others didn't.
